Muslims Wage Jihad Against Christians in Nigeria

Despite how this misleading NY Times article is framed as being a clash between equally warring muslims and Christians in Nigeria implying that both sides are at fault, make no mistake, this is a muslim jihad being waged against the Christians. The muslims are clearly the aggressors while the Christians are acting in self-defense. This all started with a mob of muslims burning a Catholic church with people inside on Sunday. Leave it to the NY Times and the rest of the liberal media to portray this situation in morally equivalent terms. It's this kind of PC journalism which is turning the public away from the msm and why the Times is going down the tubes.

Subsequently, “innocent persons were macheted,” Mr. Peter said. “I saw youths holding bows and arrows, and machetes,” he said. While “the majority” of people killed Sunday appeared to be Christians, he said, there was now a “balance of terror” among the religious groups.
